Default Kick Panels

Does anyone know if there is a kit from Q Forms or someone else to install a compenent set into the kick panels? Seems like a perfect place to mount a set of speakers.

I don't think there is an "off the shelf" kick panel enclosure from Q-Forms for the C5. As far as stock locations go for components, the C5 is about as good as it gets. The woofer is low in the door and the door itself is thick and an can accept just about any 6.5" woofer out there. The tweets need to be placed up in the doors or A pillars for optimum performance. The tweet in the kick pannel on the floor of the C5 would likely be cancelled out by your passenger or even the center console.

Last time I talked to Q-Forms they told me kick panel for the C5 was in the making. That talk was almost a year ago. They also stated a $199 price.
I like mine but cost much more.
My installer talked about placement and decide to aim tweeters in a crossfassion I think it does sound good
. No rear speakers was a wize chioce

Your setup is by far the nicest I've ever seen. I'm still an amatuer at this install stuff.
